homeDir not exported by "os"

[t-lock]

Hello,

Thanks for your work on this excellent and critical piece of OSS.

I am experiencing an issue trying to polyfill the node os module in a Vite build that bundles some pieces of the AWS javascript SDK v3 with my application. Specifically, AWS is trying to import homeDir from "os", which is a part of the node module here, but is not exported by rollup-plugin-node-polyfills/polyfills/os.js

Error: 'homedir' is not exported by node_modules/rollup-plugin-node-polyfills/polyfills/os.js, imported by node_modules/@aws-sdk/credential-providers/node_modules/@aws-sdk/shared-ini-file-loader/dist-es/getHomeDir.js

As far as I can tell, it makes no sense to want a "homeDir" in the browser, so this may be an issue that should be raised with the AWS team. However, since it is an export on the node module, I think that some form of support, such as defaulting to the project root, or a configurable option to set the dist or public folder may be in order.

What do you think?

@t-lock Did you make any progress with this?

Adding this to polyfills/os.js worked for me:

export function homedir() {
	return '/';
}

Any other solution? I tried with polyfills/os.js but didn't work in my case
